Madden NFL 21 Franchise Updates Scheduled to Arrive in Mid-November (First of 3 Updates)

I'm happy this stuff is being added. But hopefully xfactor tuning in franchise doesn't mean that players will regress even faster so they lose their abilities.

Hopefully they have planned to fix some current bugs in franchise before November. Auto subs and upgrade screen.

November is a long way out but it's better than the nothimg that was originally planned.

Funny thing is these changes don't take much resource hours that should of been in the game. But kudos to them for trying

I really like the additions, especially the career stats UI improvements, but I was expecting at least something out before October. Mid November is really pushing it.

I wonder if they're trying to line the update up with the launch of Next Gen. Not sure why they would be doing that though.

I'm genuinely curious, how do you know that it doesn't take very many resource hours?

Generally updating data tables and screens that are already in place shouldn't cost a lot. But again it depends on how convoluted the Madden coding is. I'm assuming it isn't in the cleanest shape.

Personally, I'm cool with the timeframe as long as the line of communication between devs and players stays open. We have something to look forward to, and we have to understand it takes time to build things.

The specific additions targeted for this first update are all frequently-requested features as well.

Finally, EA calling this out was also paramount, so I want to bring it forward so it is seen (emphasis mine):

Before we get into the specifics of the update, we want to let you know that our goal is to ensure all planned updates made to franchise mode this year will not require you to restart a franchise to have access to additions made to the mode.

Awesome thanks! I'm not sure what goes into the development side of gaming, so I was wondering.

Agreed. I like the additions. Wish it was sooner, but no point on getting bent out of shape about it. Very glad to see them tell us up front we won't have to restart. That was critical. I don't want to spend time in my virtual world to lose it a few months.
